EricaIt’s been two days since the lunch in the dining room where he feasted on my pussy and made me scream his name as I came apart, and that was before he tortured my nîpples and made me come again without even touching my pûssy. He made it blatantly clear how his touch and the pain was enough to push me over the edge. And it made me mad at him. So mad that I had been avoiding him. I didn’t know why I thought it would be easy to play his game. Because it hadn’t been a week since we struck the deal and I already wanted to fight him. Mouth off to him. Tell him where he could shove his orders and slap him across his ever gorgeous face. I didn’t know why I convinced myself that I could obey his demands without letting my unruly side fight me on every step, but I was starting to see how wrong I had been and also the craving for his touch was turning into an addiction. And I didn’t need a new one when I already had one which made me go looking for it in the dead of the night when only th
EricaHe settled his palm on my pûssy, cupping my whole mound in his big hand. And then his middle finger, parted my pussy lips and slid against my clit. And I moaned. Unable to stop the involuntary sound before it escaped my throat, my moan echoed around us and his golden gaze blazed.“We have to get rid of these.” He rubbed the soft, damp hair on my mound. “As endearing as these are, I would like to see you bare and open for me.” How could he be so filthy mouthed? His dirty words, in that silky accent and in his deep voice made me wetter. Made me want to slap him, curse at him and jump him at the same time.I closed my eyes as he tapped my clit with his middle finger. That soft touch after two days put me on the edge, panting and shaking with need, I settled my hands on his shoulders as my arse moved without any thought. A few moments later, I realized that he was as still as a statue while I was trying to fûck his finger. And then his hand around my waist stopped me. I opened my e
EricaHe was an arsehole.There was no other word I’d rather use from the whole dictionary to describe the man sitting on my left, eating his breakfast like he wasn’t playing with me. It suited him just fine, describing his personality to the T.I sat between the two men, one of them was having no problem eating his breakfast that was thankfully already served in our respective plates when we came out on the terrace. And there was no sign of Mario and Elijah who always stood sentry near the French doors to the balcony which made it crystal clear that the arsehole had planned this all.Unlike Antonio, Ephraim wasn’t eating his breakfast like he should and neither was I, not because I wasn’t hungry but because the bastard wasn’t letting me. Never, and I mean never since I came here he had used his phone during breakfast but today his phone was beside his plate and occasionally he tapped on it. Like now.And I sucked in a breath, my fingers tightening on the edge of the table as the litt
AntonioThe thing about unexpected surprises is that they are unexpected and I do not like unexpected. I like to have everything go according to what I had planned beforehand and just like I had planned it.But now here I was with my fingers tapping on my thigh as my driver drove through the Milan traffic to interrupt a couple that would be enjoying a private breakfast with a scenic view when I reached the hotel they were staying at, if my sources were correct. And they always were.I knew why they were here and as much as I wanted to deal with this problem in my own way, I couldn't just kill the woman who I owed my life to and I kind of like her husband despite how much he aggravated me with her intense over the moon possessiveness and jealousy— which was kinda amusing to be honest. I had never understood that emotion, how could a man ever be jealous of another. Shouldn't a man be confident enough in his ability to keep the woman he wanted from straying away and if she did then she w
EricaI spent most of my morning holed up in the bedroom in one of his long shirts, reading through the book I had taken a few days ago and enjoying my solitude. Not obsessing over what happened in the morning. How he taunted me, played with me and made me half crazy with his touch.“Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”After taking in enough points that clamored around my mind like half dozen coins in a tin box, I closed the book and dropped back on my back on the bed. I thought that it was enough knowledge to strategize and plan my way out of this horrible castle and one unbearable Italian arsehole, only to fall asleep. And when I woke up it was a few hours later in the noon so I decided to venture out because as much as I wanted to I couldn't hide in here all day, sooner or later I would've to face Ephraim.
Erica“Where are we?” I asked as Ephraim helped me down the steps of the chopper. At first I wasn’t going to obey his order and go with Ephraim for the appointments he made but then I decided I couldn't miss the opportunity to get out of that haunted castle. So I grudgingly got ready and met Ephraim Downstairs at the time he asked me to.As soon as we sat in the chopper and it started to leave the ground, my face was posted to the windows as I watched the scenery blow. Unlike the time when I had come here nakéd and in shock to be kidnapped, this time I somewhat enjoyed the ride to the city. The first half of the journey included the vast majority of forests and hills and rivers. And then slowly towns started to bleed into the scenery, getting my attention. From high above in the sky, all these buildings felt like small lego blocks, but they didn't lessen my excitement to be out and finally being able to see other people.“Rome.” Ephraim answered.“Rome...” I repeated as he tucked my a
AntonioI managed to sit through two meetings that were as boring as pulling out teeth from a traitor’s mouth but I sat there ignoring this stupid urge to call Ephraim to check on my captive or to cut short the meetings so I could go and see for myself how my little devil was fairing. But even though I was distracted, the meetings were important to attend, the Russians were becoming a pain in the arse that couldn’t be ignored anymore. Last summer when I hadn’t accepted the offer made by the returned heir of the Sokolov family, he had taken it as an insult. And after that he had started a series of actions to become a thorn at my side. In the beginning I had let it go, because to be honest that man looked like he needed a purpose after what happened to him, but now he had crossed a line after intercepting my cargo of three hundred million dollars. The fucker was asking to be gunned down. But even as I had to plot my next action against the Russians my mind was on the little devil who’d
EricaThere was a round table with white tablecloth on top of it and a small crystal vase that had daffodils. And it was surrounded with a makeshift canopy of lace curtains, providing a little privacy from the men that were spread across the terrace looking straight ahead like statues.Any other time with any other man it would’ve been like a nice romantic date out of a perfect romance book with happily ever after on the horizon. But by my side was a man who couldn’t ever be a hero and it wasn’t a date but then the question was what it was. Since Ephraim had helped me into the chopper and we left the castle, I had been wondering why out of the blue Antonio decided that I could go out and leave the cage behind. It didn’t sit well with all his promises of keeping me caged and a captive for his nefarious reasons.“Join us, Ephraim.” I looked up at Ephraim who was walking away towards the elevator. He paused and looked indecisive. “Is there a problem?” Antonio asked, and there was no hidi
